This year's 55th Iowa Open was quite strong by Iowa standards, with 3 masters, 6 experts (including newly 2100+ Iowan Robert Keating), and a host of A-players. I won with 4.5/5.
Here is the crosstable:

The average rating of my opponents was 2089! I won the event and played fairly well. I will try to post some of my games on the much-neglected chessunderground.org later this week. For now, the Life Master progress update:

Round 4: Win vs Weiss, Mitch (2221)
Round 5: Draw vs McEntee, Tim (2200)
New Rating: 2242
